Why Recycle Glass?
-
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity.
-
Glass is made from readily available domestic materials, such as sand, soda ash, limestone, and “cullet,” the industry term for furnace-ready recycled glass.
-
Recycled glass can be substituted for up to 95% of raw materials, which also helps to reduce emissions and consumption of raw materials, extend the life of plant equipment, and to saves energy.
-
Recycled glass is always part of the recipe for glass, and the more that is used, the greater the decrease in energy used in the furnace.
